How To Be Empathetic Towards My Partner?
A recovered narcissist—someone who genuinely didn't feel empathy for decades—is going to teach you exactly how to access it.
In Ep458 of The 'NEW' Marriage, Cass and Kathryn Morrow break down why empathy disappears in a relationship, how to bring it back even if it doesn't come naturally to you, and what high-level empathy looks like when trust has been completely broken. Empathy isn't gone; it's buried under self-preservation. When your amygdala takes over, fight, flight, freeze, or fawn masks your ability to care.
Cass shares the breakthrough moment he felt real empathy for the first time with his infant son, and details the exact two-step mental simulation he uses to connect with his Family. If you've been called cold, or if you're exhausted by a partner's emotional absence, this episode will show you how to get past the walls and rebuild real Intimacy.
🔑 What we cover:
• Cass as a managing narcissist—why he had to teach himself to feel
